NARRATIVE
Let-down: None (Arango's Eastbourne Final win was 23d ago)
TITLE: Eastbourne 23d ago (grass) — Arango; too stale to carry
Venue: no Iasi history for either player
VERDICT — PASS
The 18% model edge on Zidansek is pure ELO pedigree. Live form contradicts
it hard: she is grinding W100/ITF draws and just lost 6-3 6-0 to a 1500-rated
player. Live form > historical ELO — the qualitative read kills the model
edge rather than validating it. The counter-lean (ML 55% Arango) is thin and
Arango is 5-10 herself with losses to Weak opponents. Models split, market
at a coin flip, no side has independent qualitative validation. No alt
markets priced. Pass.
